Feel It to Heal It: Building Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence isn’t about staying calm or keeping the peace. It’s about staying connected — to yourself and to others. In this episode of Your Odyssey, Tara and Karen explore what emotional intelligence looks like beyond the corporate buzzwords and leadership trainings, especially for anyone navigating midlife, family, relationships, and the pressure to keep it all together.

You’ll learn:

Why you can’t heal what you won’t feel — and how naming your emotions builds self-trust
How to recognize and own your triggers without shame
Why connection matters more than performance in relationships, parenting, and leadership
Simple, practical ways to grow your emotional intelligence in daily life

This conversation is part of Emotional Wellness Month and a reminder that you don’t need to perform your way through life. You get to feel. You get to heal. And you get to live more authentically.

Tune in for tools, truth, and encouragement to build emotional resilience in real life.
